	Family Crest and Coat of Arms: Parts of a Coat of Arms
		The earliest coats of arms were fairly simple -- bars or wavy lines, a lion rampant or an eagle displayed, or an arrangement of fleurs-de-lis.
		The oldest documented example of a coat of arms borne on a shield is where King Henry I of England is said to have bestowed on his son-in-law, Geoffrey Plantagenet, Count of Anjou, in 1127 A.D.: the azure shield bore four gold lions rampant.
		Regardless of their origins, coats of arms became military status symbols, and their popularity increased along with the popularity of the tournament, which was developed in the mid-eleventh century in France (reportedly by Godfrey de Preuilly).

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Rene-Robert-Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle
		For a brief space in 1682 La Salle's fate seems more propitious, when, on 9 April, we catch a glimpse of him planting the fleurs-de-lis on the banks of the Mississippi, and claiming for France the wide territory that it drained.
		La Salle's schemes of empire and of trade were far too vast for his own generation to accomplish, though it was along the lines that he projected that France pursued her colonial policy in the New World in the eighteenth century until finally overthrown by the English in the French and Indian Wars.
		La salle's subsequent travels on this occasion are shrouded in an obscurity that will perhaps never be dispelled.

	Kingdom of France: Compagnies Franches de la Marine (ca. 1760)
		I was under the belief that in 17th-18th century France semee de fleurs de lis d'or was a high distinction, reserved for regiments with the Royal appellation.
		Regarding the Compagnies Franches de la Marine, in my research I have found evidence (citing the Archives nationales-Colonies) that they were originally entitled Les compagnies détachées de la Marine (companies detached from the la Marine Regiment.) In 1690 they were reorganized to Compagnies Franche de la Marine.
		It was long thought that a blue flag with a white cross, fleur-de-lys on the arms of the cross and anchors in the quarters was the color of the Compagnies Franches de la Marine, but this was incorrect.
